EXIT RLAINE-

The logic of the recent elections has Tor
It's sequence the exit of Blaine as pres
identisl candidate. Sherman would seem
to be the man demanded by Republican
necessities, put Sherman is not the shrewd
politician he has been accounted il he
consents to face Cleveland, the solid
south, New Jersey, New York and Indi-
ana, with possible reserve in Connect
cut. John Sherman wants to be president,
not candidate for president, and it is
possible he is coldblooded enough to put
away from him the giIded promise that now
seems to be made him. But it is Sherman
or an unknown" for the Republicans,
and Cleveland and victory for the Demo-
Gratis.
The Democracy parts with Mr.. Blaine
as presidential candidate with regret
He is a man of great magnetism and so
easy to beat. The Democracy will bestir
itself il John Sherman does consent to
the sacrifice, and then, when the battle is
ended and the victory Won, the Democ-
racy and the country will know that Rad
icalism is dead and buried. The last
chance of the Noble Old Rips will come
in 1888.

WHEN some of these Associated Press

sources of his magnificent intellect
should evolve something to point moral.

court convened to-day, and the grand
jury wss organized. The non-jury
docket will be taken up this week.
Some excitement was raised on the
square this morning by the firing of q
pistol. Some one Rhot dog that WAS
supposed to be mad.
A few weeks ago a negro by the name
OF Alexander was convicted at Fort
Worth of the murder of smother negro by
the name of Ben Griffin, about wear ago,
an account Of which WAS Published in
The GAZETTE at the time. 1t seems that
Alexander took en- appeal, but his
lawyer, Mr.. Henry Furman, re-
fused to prosecute the appeal,
until his fee Was paid. Alexander told
him that he hsd $3.50 buried somewhere
in the vicinity Of the place that YVES cult
vated by the negro Griffin before his
death. The sheriff CT Tarrant county was
persuaded to let Alexander come in search
of the buried money. Accompanied by q
deputy sheriff and 8 young man from Mr..
Furman's office, the negro Alexander
came down mere, when the party WAS
Joined by Sheriff Boyd End then proceed
ed TO the place to fad the money. Arriv-
ing there, no money could be found. It
was perhaps ruse played by the negro
with the, hope Of being able TO escape.

SALOONNEN Us. THE SUNDAY
LAW.

SALOONHEN Us. THE SUNDAY
LAW.
The Liquor Dealers Association of
San Antonio has decided to make an
open war on the Sunday law and some
four or five of the leading saloons are
running wide open in defiance of the
pronunciamento issued recently by the
police authorities. They claim that the
law is unconstitutional and that the Su-
preme court will so declare it. They
propose submitting to any fines imposed
upon them for the time being, and depend
upon the success of their cause before
the higher courts. They are doubtless
acting under advice of eminent counsel
who have thoroughly investigated the law
covering the case and if the saloonmen
believe that they are being deprived of
any constitutional right through the
mistakes and errors of legislators,
they have the ,undoubted right,
and it is their duty to defend themselves
ia the courts of the country. Local sem
timent and custom is strongly against
Sunday regulation in the Alamo City.
Business houses in many instances keep
open and people have been doing pretty
much as they pleased. 1t is doubtless
hardship on some 10 close their places OF
business, and they cannot be blamed for
opposing the law, by legal and constitu-
tional means. It cannot be said that
such action on the part OF the saloon men
is wise or prudent. The people of Texas
are q Christian people who respect the
Sabbath, and while by an overwhelming
majority decided that they did not favor
the total prohibition of the liquor traffic,
they are in favor OF regulating it, and one
of these regulations is that saloons must
close on the Sabbath. If the
saloon men force the fight in
San Antonio, their action will initiate
sgsinst the liquor men all over the state,
by arousing sentiment against them which
will result in legislation more burden
some than that complained of at present.
Our people are slow about making laws,
but once enacted they are quick to resent
any violation of them, especially when
such violation is open and defiant. The
language used by Judge Gustave Cook
may be little severe, nevertheless q
violation of the Sunday law is species
OF anarchy, Of mild and harmless char
scter, but which has its logical results in
bomb throwing and the taking OF life.
Quiet evasion of the Sunday law may be
tolerated in many instances where open
defiance would be summarily rebuked.

have been indicted are guilty, then, per-
bsps, no mayor and but few aldermen Of
Fort Worth since the incorporation of the
city are guiltless.
The law only can determine if any
members of the city government are de-
lioerstely guilty, but the GAZETTE can as
sure the people AMI press OF Texas that
there is no epidemic of Doodle here.
The cause of this furore lies in an
effort to manage the affairs of the city
under the "close corporation" plan. The
resistance of the minority to such ring
rule of the majority begot "the parrot
and monkey" proceedings which made
the city government the laughing stock
of Texas and the shame of Fort Worth.
But the minority of the Council stood up
for the right, and the people will not for
get them.
It wss on the programme of the major
ity to GUST Mr.. Thomas in their "clean
sweep" but that gentleman had "dead
sinch" on some one of the majority snd
that majority was split wide open when
Mr.. Thomas held on despite the pro-
gramme, and thus secured to the city one
competent official in the waterworks man
agement.
elimination and recriminstion were be
gotten Of the disruption, and the indict-
menfs followed more in retaliation than
patriotism.
Trial by jury will separate the innocent
from the guilty if there be any who are
guilty, and out Of all this disgraceful bus
mess will come popular resolve to put
men in municipal ofi;e who will aim and
seek to give the city business rather
than political or q personal govern
ment.
The people of this city know the causes
Of the trouble, and upon the people of the
city devolves the duty of applying the
remedy.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

Could the people Of Fort Worth read
all that is being printed IN the newspa-
pers OF Texas concerning the city govern
ment they would, indeed, see themselves
as others see them. The GAZETTE Sc
lects paragraph from the Colorado Clip
per as, perhapa, the mildest in expression
of the current comments of the press:
The Fort Worth City Council have been hsv-
ing a parrot and monkey time recently. The
Mayor charges the aldermen with all sorts Of
frauds, and the honorable gentlemen say he Is
another. Now comes the District Judge, and
In a special charge instructs the grand jury to
investigate the Council and "turn the rascals
out"
That the Misrepresentation OF the reo-
..!e and press of Texas may be dispelled,
and as an act Of justice to all concerned,
TIE GAZETTE assures it's contempt
rarles that there is wide differ
elce between deliberate rsscslity
and technical violation of law. The law
Was framed for the protection of the peo-
pie against ''boodle" aldermen, and is so
explicit in its inhi5Itions that rigid con-
s;ruction of it would deprive this city Of
the services of many whom the people
would delight to honor. Under the law
the purchase of twelye-foot plank, the
hiring Of team, the borrowing of money
Cat a lower rate CT interest than that cur
remit, the purchase Of load of wood, or
a bottle Ct quinine by the city from firm
in which an alderman was Interested
would be an oftense. And yet such
purchases might be made and
were made by the city without
the conuivance of the aldermen interested.
The intent of the law was to protect the
people against aldermen who might seek
70 use their power to gain personal ends
and prc Ats. II 6 ne CT The aldermen who

read with interest this statement from the
report of the funeral of the dead anarcn-

liantly dressed corps of musicians, dressed

compensate that refuge by destruction Of

Now THAT the Old Dominion has de-
throned Malone she should turn her at
tertion to the Hungarian anarchists and
colored rioters. No false sentiment
should protect or shield men who raise a
red flag and attempt to sssassinate inno-
cent people. The astounding impudence
of these men who come into the country
and attempt to demolish by force laws
and institutions of which they are entirely
ignorant is wonderful.
